In this talk from the Seattle Founder Institute, marketing whiz, Joanna Lord, outlines her top 10 lessons for how to effectively market your startup. Instead of focusing on growth, she says, focus on momentum. “Anyone can focus on growth - that’s a linear progression. Instead, focus on momentum, your unique identifier”.

In addition to focusing on momentum, Joanna also stresses the concept of being unique. Whether it be how you choose the words used to tell your story, or how you approach customer retention, if you aren’t unique, you simply aren’t worth talking about.
